Los Angeles -LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Actor Charlie Sheen on Friday declared `` we are at war '' following canceled production of the hit CBS sitcom `` Two and a Half Men '' and his impending loss of $ 1.2 million per episode .

`` They know what they did is wrong , '' Sheen , who claimed he is clean , said in a call from the Bahamas to the `` Loose Cannons '' radio program .

Producers cited Charlie Sheen 's actions and statements when they announced they were calling off production for the rest of the season .

`` Defeat is not an option , '' Sheen said in the Friday interview with `` Loose Cannons '' host Pat O'Brien . `` They picked a fight with the wrong guy . They are in absolute breach . ''

`` They kept telling me how to live my personal life , '' said Sheen , making repeated references to money he brought to the network . `` It was a toxic environment for eight years . ''

The actor , who began rehab treatments at his home in the wake of an emergency hospital visit in January , told ABC 's `` Good Morning America '' in text messages Friday he is going to show up for work anyway .

Sheen appeared to challenge producers to take action Thursday when he went on a rant as a guest on `` The Alex Jones Radio Show . ''

`` I was told if I went on the attack , they would cancel the show and all that , so I 'm just sort of seeing if they 're telling the truth or not , '' Sheen told Jones .

The decision to halt `` Two and a Half Men '' was announced Thursday after Sheen spoke with the Jones show .

`` Based on the totality of Charlie Sheen 's statements , conduct and condition , CBS and Warner Bros. . Television have decided to discontinue production of ` Two and a Half Men ' for the remainder of the season , '' the network and studio said in a joint statement Thursday . Warner Bros. . Television is owned by Time Warner Inc. , the parent company of CNN .

CBS placed the sitcom on `` production hiatus '' after the actor began rehab treatments . The show had been scheduled to resume taping on four more episodes next week .

It 's not clear if `` Two and Half Men '' will return for a ninth season . Industry insiders estimate that the show has already grossed $ 400 million in reruns , putting total syndication fees for the 177 shows at a cool $ 1 billion .

A Warner Brothers spokesman said that at least 250 members of the cast and crew will be out of work during the canceled production . Sheen said the employees should be focused , patient and to understand `` there are ways to deal with these clowns and take all their money . ''

Sheen said on the Jones show that he was dealing `` with fools and trolls '' and people with `` loser lives . ''

He also had some unkind words for Alcoholics Anonymous .

`` This bootleg cult , arrogantly referred to as Alcoholics Anonymous , reports a 5 % success rate . My success rate is 100 % . Do the math . ... Another one of their mottoes is ` Do n't be special , be one of us . ' Newsflash : I am special , and I will never be one of you ! I have a disease ? Bulls ** t ! I cured it with my brain , with my mind , '' Sheen told the show .

The actor also went after show co-creator Chuck Lorre .

A short time after the cancellation was announced , Sheen sent a statement to celebrity news website TMZ .

`` I gracefully ignored this folly for 177 shows , '' Sheen wrote to TMZ . `` I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot ca n't handle my power and ca n't handle the truth . ''

Sheen 's battle with producers is in sharp contrast to the kind words he had for them earlier this month when he thanked network executives for their support .

`` I have a lot of work to do to be able to return the support I have received from so many people , '' Sheen said in a statement then . `` Like Errol Flynn , who had to put down his sword on occasion , I just want to say , ` Thank you . ' ''

Lorre had no comment Friday .

Sheen 's father , actor Martin Sheen , told Sky News earlier this week he likened Sheen 's addiction to having cancer .

`` If he had cancer how would we treat him ? '' the elder Sheen asked . `` The disease of addiction is a form of cancer and you have to have a equal measure of concern and love and lift them up . That 's what we do for him . ''

Addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky told HLN on Friday that Charlie Sheen `` is clearly manic . ''

Pinsky said Sheen is exhibiting traits of advanced addiction , which he said has a grave prognosis without proper treatment .

`` When their workplace is affected , that 's when you know things are really bad , '' said Pinsky , whose new HLN show premieres April 4 .

Another Sheen radio interview last week raised concern about the actor 's stability .

Sheen , talking on `` The Dan Patrick Show , '' advised people to stay away from crack cocaine `` unless you can manage it socially . ''

He told Patrick then that he was ready to return to the show .

`` I healed really quickly , but I also unravel really quickly , so get me right now guys , '' Sheen said . `` Get me right now . ''

Sheen was `` very , very intoxicated , also apparently in a lot of pain '' on the morning of January 27 , according to a 911 call from a doctor who had just talked to the actor .

Porn actress Kacey Jordan has told media outlets that a two-day party preceded Sheen 's collapse .

Paramedics went to Sheen 's Los Angeles home and then took him by ambulance to a hospital , where he spent several hours . While his representative blamed a hernia for Sheen 's pain , he later announced the actor was undergoing rehab at home .

CNN 's Alan Duke , Aaron Smith and Brittany Kaplan contributed to this report .
